    • Building and take up of new houses for S106 contributions
    • Sale and acquisition of land

QUALITY RISK

{ Suitability { User satisfaction

{ Adequacy { Education performance

{ Condition { Value added

- Flexibility for future change

- Briefing and policy change

- Design and construction

- Funding and cost reduction

- Demographics and school roll

Note : - Scores assume PFI funding route. Thus certain scores reflect developer liability. The risk assessment relate to LEA risks, and assumes PFI funding.
